[liberationtech] tracking government internet blocking

[Robert Guerra]

Tanya,

You ask a good question… likely many will answer on the list.

Let me provide a list of a few resources that could be of interest.


Herdict is a user-driven platform for identifying web blockages as they 
happen
www.herdict.org/

Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI)
A free software, global observation network for detecting censorship, 
surveillance and traffic manipulation on the internet
https://ooni.torproject.org/

The OpenNet Initiative - a collaborative project that concluded in 2014 
that was a pioneer in documenting internet censorship and internet 
controls.
https://opennet.net/

The Access series represents three edited volumes published by the 
OpenNet Initiative and MIT Press that document nearly a decade of 
extensive technical and in-field research on the trends and patterns 
shaping information controls around the world.
http://access.opennet.net/

I’ll let others share other resources and tools…

regards

Robert
